Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation with roots a and b has the equation (x - a)(x - b) = 0.

You roots are 1 and -3.

The equation is

(x - 1)(x - (3)) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

We can multiply it out.

x^2 + 3x - x - 3 = 0

x^2 + 2x - 3 = 0

Since we need the leading coefficient to be 4, we multiply both sides by 4.

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0

Answer:

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first write it in factor form.

4(x - 1)(x + 3) = 0

4(x^2 + 2x - 3) = 0

4x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0 (answer).

Pls help <br> How do u find the area of this figure

Katen [24]

To find this, you have to cut the figure into familiar shapes. In this case, you can cut it into two rectangles. When you cut it, there is a missing measurement, which is the length for the small rectangle. To find that, you subtract the other two lengths given, which is 8 and 6, and thats the length for the small rectangle. Then you do l•w for both shapes.
